British power metallers Dragonforce's webmaster has issued the following update:
"The mighty DragonForce are set for a UK and Ireland tour this
September. The tour will follow the release of their as-yet-untitled
new album, which is pencilled to hit stores on August 25th.
The band are currently hard at work completing the new album, before
heading Stateside in early July for the start of the inaugural Rockstar
Energy Mayhem Festival tour. The package kicks off in early July and is
headlined by Slipknot and Disturbed, with DragonForce bagging a main
stage slot right before them.
Meanwhile, DragonForce’s last album Inhuman Rampage, is still
romping out of stores on both sides of the pond, thanks in part to the
inclusion of lead track, ‘Through The Fire And Flames’ as the ‘most
difficult' on the top-selling Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock video
game.
Elsewhere in DragonForce news, guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman
recently launched their new signature guitars at the NAMM show in Los
Angeles. You can check out the details over at www.ibanez.com. Also
look out for an exclusive interview with Sam real soon.
Tickets for the tour go on sale this Friday, April 18th and can be
pre-ordered from Wednesday morning (16th) at www.livenation.co.uk."
